The 3 speed hubs is;
1st gears - easier than 40/13 (33% lower). 2nd gears - is 40/13 3rd gears - harder than 40/13 (33% harder).
The 3rd gears is a little easier than your 54/13 ratio, need to calculate this tho.
Lastly, I'm in civilian clothes, plus I spin than grind.
I wear jeans and a T-Shirt, but I am admittedly useless at spinning unless I really force myself.
I'm caning it in full lycra and seem to be either spinning or grinding most of the time.
86 miles by Brompton so far this week and I'm loving it. Almost kinda tempted to go for a bigger chainring...
